Cricket 1906

252 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J uly 5, 1906. YORKSHIRE v. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Played at Leeds on July 2, 3 and 4. Drawn. Owing to rain, no play was possible in this match on Monday. On Tuesday, apart from delays amounting in the aggregate to about an hour and a-half, owing to bad light, there was a full day’s cricket. Rhodes and Rothery made 87 for the first wicket; the former, who hit six 4’s, scoring 58 out of 98 in one hundred and ten minutes. Then a col­ lapse occurred, and half the side were out for 125. Denton, however, played a splendid game, scoring 70 out of 98 in under two hours, and hitting eleven 4’s. During his innings he had the personal satisfaction of completing his thousand runs for the season. Stumps were drawn when the innings closed for 232. Yesterday, a lot of cricket was got through, but a definite result could not be reached. In dismissing E. Barnett in Gloucester­ shire’s first innings Haigh obtained his hundredth wicket during the season. Rhodes showed aglimpse of his old bowling form, and took five wickets for 62. With a lead of 81, Yorkshire lost eight wickets against Dennett and Huggins in their secend innings and then declared. So quickly did the visitors’ wickets then fall that a win for Yorkshire appeared by no means unlikely, but Board played a most valuable innings and clearly enabled his side to escape a reverse.

WEST INDIANS. Played at Southampton on July 2, 3 and 4. Hampshire won by six wickets. Their match with the West Indians was made an occasion by Hampshire for giving a trial to J. H. Gunner, an old Marlburian. E. G. Tolfree, a local player, and Shutt, from Aldershot. Langford, unfortunately for the visitors, proved to be in excellent form with the ball, and half the side fell before him for 49. Smith and Goodman added 84 for the sixth wicket in seventy-five minutes, but the innings closed for 166—a very poor total on an easy wicket. Langford, who kept a splendid length, dis­ missed eight men for 82. Hill and Bowell made 72 for the County’s first wicket in sixty-five minutes, whilst Llewellyn and Mead improved matters by adding 124 for the third in similar time. When play ceased for the day Hampshire were 69 runs on with seven wickets in hand, Mead being not out 85. On the following morning the. latter, after batting for forty-five minutes, reached three figures, and. altogether, was at the wickets one hundred and seventy minutes for his faultless 132, in which were fourteen 4’s. The innings closed for 349. The second innings of the visitors was marked by a fine effort on the part of Smith, who, making many ^ood cuts and skilful leg-glances, made his 100 without any mis­ take. Goodman helped him put on 71 for the fourth wicket and Ollivierre 100 for the fifth in fifty-five minutes. The last-named hit in splendid fashion, scoring a 5 and twelve 4’s in his 67, and making 14 off an over from Badcock. The innings closed for 293, and Hampshire, left 111 to win, made 6 without loss before stumps were drawn. Yesterday, Lang­ ford and Stone were soon sent back, but Hill played a good innings, and Hampshire Avon easily by six Avicket s. Score and analysis:— W est I n dians . First innings. G.

Played at Nottingham on July 2, 3 and 4. Drawn. Although Avithout A. C. MacLaren and Cuttell, Lancashire had a strong side in the field for this important match. They were fortunate in disposing of Jones without a run, but Iremonger, who played a bright and very good innings and hit eleven 4’s, atoned to a certain extent for the disaster by scoring 74 out of 104 in ninety-fiA'e minutes. George Gunn helped him to put on 94 for the second wicket in an hour and twenty minutes, and John Gunn followed up the effort well by an innings of 50. Five wickets were down for 186, and it Avas chiefly due to Day, who carried out his bat for 30, that the total eventually reached 254. Lancashire opened their innings in a poor light, and lost Spooner and Heap for 4 runs, but Poidevin and Tyldesley then put on 54 and were still together when stumps Avere dVawn. On Tues­ day Tyldesley was sent back ere another run had been made, but Sharp then came in and played a most useful game. Both he and Poidevin were let off, the former when 11 and 47. and the latter when 38. PoideA-in reached 50 out of 72 in an hour, and batted an hour and three-quarters for his 79. With Poidevin, Sharp added 60 for the fourth Avicket, with Findlay 64 for the seventh, and with Dean 78 for the ninth. Sharp’s innings Avas a somewhat lucky one, seeing that he was twice missed, as stated; he hit fourteen 4’s. Notts, whose fielding was frequently at fault, missed six catches during their opponents’ innings, and had only themselves to blame for being 59 behind on the first innings. When they went in the second time both Jones and George Gunn were sent back before the arrears Avere rubbed off, but Tremonger played well and, when play ceased for the day had made 56 not out, the home side being then 43 runs on with eight wickets in hand. Yesterday, Iremonger carried his score to 116—a most valuable innings—and, as he was ably supported by Hardstaff and Day, Notts were able to declare with eight wickets down. Although there never appeared any possibility of a definite result being arrived at, some very interesting cricket was seen, Tyldesley and Spooner both scoring well. Score and analysis N otts .
